When it gets cold, I match my knicker-bockers with Keens sandals instead of the flip-flops I usually wear. What are those sock things you speak of? Gernot in far northern Thailand On Oct 26, 2:57 am, Tom Norwood tbnorw...@gmail.com wrote: Smartwool ski socks are just the ticket.  The extra

Smartwool socks for snowboarding are great; and if it's below 20 degrees, smartwool long underwear under knickers and socks...good to 0 degrees, at which point Goretex overpants on top. Also a good word for Swrve knickers...they have a very heavy winter version that is quite nice; and their

I've got a pair of Wilderness Wear's over-the-calf Kozi socks that I expect will work quite nicely with RBW's wool semi-tights and MUSA knickers for all but the sub-Fahrenheit-zero weather I'll enjoy here in the Chicago area. Nothing like two-layers of medium wool to comfortably baffle the breeze.

Knee high socks of course! I have some Thorlo's. Sometimes I even wear my knee warmers(if it's below 40), Defeet Kneekers. They are a tubular knit. I have 2 pairs, one is kinda small of the thighs, but it works perfectly for the calves. -- You received this message because you are subscribed

up here in the fur north of Southern Cali, It gets in the 30's in the local mountains in winter. When it gets that cold the only choice for me are full tights. IBEX has some nice ones. Or you can wear some wind pants. I find those to be good at retaining body heat too. ~Mike~ On Oct 24, 8:10

You pull up your socks and tuck them into the bottom of the knickers if you are really looking for style. And if you want bonus points, buy a pair of the same socks in a smaller size, cut out the toes and you have coordinating arm wamers. The heel section fits well inthe elbow, as if they werre

Usually long socks. Depends on the weather as to how heavy. The long Surly socks from last year are good to the low 30s. Below that, Thorlo usually. Below that, usually long pants. Then again, I've been a wimp the last couple of days, knickers when the temps are in the 50's borderline 60.

With REAL knickers (the plus twos that bind just below the knee) one can wear wool shooting socks. Indeed, I wore mine today on a three speed ride to Brook Farm in West Roxbury, MA where I got a lot of compliments. Steve On Oct 24, 10:37 am, karpowicz karpow...@sbcglobal.net wrote: So, if you
